SCOTS singer-songwriter Nina Nesbitt has described an arm injury she received at T in the Park as her most embarrassing pop moment.

The Edinburgh-born beauty borrowed a metal tambourine after her own set and joined Dublin rockers Kodaline on stage during their T slot.

But she got so carried away, the performance saw her end up in A&E and bandaged to the hilt for her promo duties later that day.

Nina, 19, said: “T is my favourite festival. I was surprised how many people turned up and the stage was bigger than I had played on before.

“I went to play with Kodaline and ended up injuring my hand. I went on stage to do a duet, but they didn’t have enough channels for a guitar so I took a tambourine on that I had borrowed from another act.

"It was a metal one that you are not supposed to hit with your hands.

“I ended up with a big lump like the one you see on the back of someone’s head in cartoons. I went to A&E and they managed to wrap it in a bandage. It was so embarrassing.”

Nina has already enjoyed chart success with her single Stay Out, which reached No.21 in the UK charts in April.

This week she has released her Way In The World EP, which features the title track, Not Me and Spiders, as well as demo version of live favourite Brit Summer.

Nina said: “Having the single out is cool. The title track is for the summer and there are other tracks on the EP that I’ve been playing live.”

Meanwhile, Nina has her sights on the US after close pal and rumoured boyfriend Ed Sheeran cracked the US market. “He has done well and it has been amazing. It’s really cool. I’d like to go to America at some point,” she said. “The way Emeli Sande has done it is great too. She has spent time over there.”

Nina is heading to the sold-out Belladrum Tartan Heart Festival next weekend and she’ll join headliners Twin Atlantic and James, live stalwarts Alabama 3, Seasick Steve, The Horrors, Admiral Fallow and The Noisettes.

“I’m really excited to be going back there,” said Nina.

The blonde singer could pass for a Scandinavian with her blonde locks – and that’s no surprise given her Swedish roots.

“The name Nina is Swedish because my mum is Swedish,” she said. “I am a big mix of Scottish, Irish, Swedish and a bit of Finnish. I’m not sure if that comes across in the music but I think my accent sounds a bit odd to people.”

Her Swedish mother introduced her to Abba, Christina Aguilera and Eva Cassidy from an early age, while her dad is obsessed with Roxy Music.

But Nina initially wanted to be an author. “I was an extremely shy kid,” she said. “But from the age of six I wrote short stories, which I started putting to music when I got a keyboard at age 10.”

Having just performed in the Radio 1 Live Lounge — including a cover version of John Newman’s Love Me Again — and with festival dates lined up every weekend until September, Nina is steadily building up her fan base.

She’s also busy completing her debut album, which is being recorded with ace producer Jake Gosling.

“It’s more or less finished,” said Nina.

“I hope to have the album out in January. I really like the title but I can’t tell you the title just yet, I don’t want to spoil the surprise.”

She’s also touring in October but fans in Scotland will have to get a move on to bag tickets.

“Aberdeen is almost sold out and Glasgow, a bigger venue, is almost sold out too,” said Nina.
